Phoenix of Conviction

Plot Summary

Sasha is angry that Father Yuri and Mafuyu held him back, but they both insist they did it because he would have died if he pursued Ootori in his current state. Even so, the group makes a plan to get Tomo back from the Qwaser of Sodium. In another church, Ootori prepares Tomo for a ceremony while Elizabeth has doubts about fighting against her friends.

As Sasha and Mafuyu prepare to storm the church, the blonde gentleman from before reappears with several cards in his hand that he uses to summon clones of enemies that Sasha previously killed. Ootori argues with the man, then effortlessly kills the clones with his sodium-manipulating powers. Outside the church, Sasha and Mafuyu are confronted by both Elizabeth and Teresa. Sasha decides to take both of them on while Mafuyu runs into the church to save Tomo.

Eventually, Sasha knocks Elizabeth out of the fight, but Teresa throws her body in front of Elizabeth and dares Sasha to attack. Sasha is about to attack with his scythe, while back in the church, Tomo wakes up. However, she has been possessed by the Qwaser of Gold.
